Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's unexpectedly hawkish remarks on Thursday sent markets into a tailspin. Major U.S. equity indices closed in the red, and the dollar soared for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/interest-rates">a fifth consecutive session</a>.
In a speech to Dallas business leaders, Powell highlighted the remarkable strength of the U.S. economy, indicating that there's no need for the Fed to &#8220;be in a hurry to lower rates.&#8221;
He reiterated the central bank's commitment to reaching its 2% inflation target, stressing the need for careful decision-making as inflation remains above desired levels.
He highlighted productivity gains, which he said have &#8220;grown faster over the past five years than at any point in the two decades preceding the pandemic,&#8221; positioning the U.S. economy as &#8220;the best-performing among major economies.&#8221;
Addressing the October <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/41971830/producer-inflation-rises-more-than-expected-in-october-should-traders-rethink-interest-rate-cut-path">producer price index (PPI) uptick</a>, Powell labeled it &#8220;more than an upward bump&#8221; but maintained confidence in the trajectory toward the 2% inflation goal.

<h3>Why Insider Transactions Are Important</h3>
Insider transactions should be considered alongside other factors when making investment decisions, as they can offer important insights.
Exploring the legal landscape, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities, as stipulated by Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This encompasses executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are required to report their transactions through a Form 4 filing, which must be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
Highlighted by a company insider's new purchase, there's a positive anticipation for the stock to rise.
But, insider sells may not necessarily indicate a bearish view and can be motivated by various factors.
<h3>Understanding Crucial Transaction Codes</h3>
Delving into transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> typically prioritize those unfolding in the open market, as precisely outlined in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 indicates a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

After an impressive run over the past year, Uber Technologies (UBER) is now doubling down on its ambitious expansion into delivery services and autonomous vehicles. As the global autonomous ride-hailing market prepares for exponential growth, can UBER's innovative strategies lead to even higher stock prices? Let's find out… Shares of the leading ridesharing company, Uber Technologies, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/UBER/">UBER</a>), have surged over 80% in the past year and gained 29.8% year-to-date, closing the last trading session at $79.90. This strong performance is fueled by its ability to turn profitable last year, driven by strong revenue growth.
Now, the company is expanding beyond its core ridesharing services into delivery, forming strategic partnerships to push this growth even further. But will its ongoing efforts to diversify help propel its stock even higher?
Uber's Autonomous Ride-hailing Business Is Growing
A big part of Uber's growth strategy centers around its push into autonomous ride-hailing and delivery. The company recently announced a multiyear partnership with Avride to bring autonomous vehicles and delivery robots into its ecosystem. Initially, Uber Eats customers in Austin will see these sidewalk robots in action, with plans to expand this technology to Dallas and Jersey City by the end of the year.
On September 25, UBER teamed up with WeRide, a global leader in autonomous driving, to bring self-driving vehicles to the United Arab Emirates. This move aligns with Uber's belief that the future of transportation will be shared, electric, and autonomous. By collaborating with top AV companies, the company is not only bringing this technology to more cities but also expanding its global footprint.
In the same month, Uber expanded its partnership with Waymo to offer autonomous rides in Phoenix, and starting in the first quarter of 2025, people in Austin and Atlanta can also request Waymo rides through the Uber app. If these ventures succeed, Uber may be well-positioned to roll out autonomous rides nationwide, pending regulatory approval.
Impressive Financial Performance
UBER's growth engine continues to hum, delivering its sixth consecutive quarter of trip growth above 20%, alongside record profitability. The company's revenue for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024, increased 15.9% year-over-year to $10.70 billion, while its gross bookings grew 19% from the year-ago value to $39.95 billion.
Its income from operations came in at $796 million, indicating an improvement of 144.2% from the prior year quarter. The company's adjusted EBITDA stood at $1.57 billion, up 71.4% year-over-year. Moreover, its attributable <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/n/netincome.asp">net income</a> amounted to $1.02 billion or $0.47 per share, representing an increase of 157.6% and 161.1% year-over-year, respectively. Also, its free cash flow rose 51% over the prior-year quarter to $1.72 billion.
Commenting on its last quarter's performance, CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said, "The Uber consumer has never been stronger--more people are using the platform, and more frequently, than ever before--while drivers and couriers earned a new all-time high of $17.9 billion over the quarter."
Favorable Analyst Estimates
Street expects UBER's revenue for the fiscal third quarter (ended September 2024) to increase 18.1% year-over-year to $10.97 billion. Similarly, its EPS for the same period is expected to register a robust growth of 285.9% from the prior year, settling at $0.39. Moreover, the company has topped the revenue estimates in three of the trailing four quarters, which is promising.
Further, its EPS and revenue for fiscal year 2024 (ending December 31) are anticipated to increase by 20.8% and 16.3% year-over-year, reaching $1.05 and $43.35 billion, respectively.
Stretched Valuation
In terms of forward non-GAAP P/E, UBER's 36.43x is 75.5% higher than the 20.76x industry average. Its 3.95x forward EV/Sales is 100% higher than the 1.97x industry average. Likewise, its 3.87x forward Price/Sales is 151.5% higher than the 1.54x industry average.
Mixed Profitability
UBER's 9.76% trailing-12-month levered FCF margin is 49% higher than the 6.55% industry average. Furthermore, the stock's 32.37% trailing-12-month gross profit margin is 2.2% above the 31.68% industry average. Also, its trailing-12-month Return on Common Equity of 19.14% is 48.7% higher than the 12.87% industry average.
Conversely, UBER's trailing-12-month net income and EBITDA margins of 5.02% and 6.98% are 18.8% and 50.2% lower than industry averages of 6.18% and 14.01%, respectively.
POWR Ratings Reflect Uncertainty
UBER has an overall rating of C, equating to a Neutral in our <a href="https://stocknews.com/powr-ratings/">POWR Ratings</a> system. The POWR Ratings are calculated by considering 118 different factors, each weighted to an optimal degree.
Our proprietary rating system also evaluates each stock based on eight distinct categories. UBER has a C grade for Stability, which is in sync with its 1.33 beta.
However, it has a D grade for Value, consistent with its stretched valuation. Nonetheless, the company's impressive financial performance in the last reported quarter has helped the stock earn an A grade for Growth.
UBER is ranked #31 out of 76 stocks in the <a href="https://stocknews.com/category/technology-services/">Technology – Services</a> industry. <a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/UBER/">Click here</a> to access UBER's Momentum, Sentiment, and Quality.
Bottom Line
Uber's ambitious AV expansion strategy bodes well with industry predictions for the exponential growth of this market segment. The global autonomous ride-hailing market is projected to reach <a href="https://www.statista.com/outlook/mmo/shared-mobility/ride-hailing/worldwide">$212.80 billion by 2029</a> (expanding at a CAGR of 4.9%), which indicates that widespread commercial adoption of autonomous ride-hailing is just around the corner. Plus, the company is also expanding into higher-margin areas like advertising, which could significantly boost its profitability.
However, given the stock's current high valuation, it could be wise for investors to watch how these initiatives unfold and wait for a better entry point into the stock.

목요일(14일) 제롬 파월 연방준비제도 의장의 예상치 못한 매파적 발언이 시장을 뒤흔들었다. 미국 주요 주가지수는 하락세로 마감했고 달러는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/interest-rates" target="_blank" rel="noopener">5일 연속으로</a> 급등했다.
파월 의장은 댈러스 비즈니스 리더들을 대상으로 한 연설에서 미국 경제의 놀라운 강점을 강조하며 연준이 "금리인하를 서두를 필요가 없다"고 말했다.
그는 2% 인플레이션 목표 달성을 위한 연준의 노력을 거듭 강조하면서 인플레이션이 원하는 수준 이상으로 유지되고 있는 만큼 신중한 의사 결정이 필요하다고 강조했다. 또한 생산성 향상을 강조하며 "지난 5년 동안 팬데믹 이전 20년 동안 어느 시점보다 빠르게 성장했다"며 미국 경제가 "주요 경제국 중 가장 좋은 성과를 내고 있다"고 말했다.
파월 의장은 10월 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/41971830/producer-inflation-rises-more-than-expected-in-october-should-traders-rethink-interest-rate-cut-path" target="_blank" rel="noopener">생산자물가지수(PPI) 상승</a>에 대해 "단순한 상승 이상"이라고 평가하면서도 2% 인플레이션 목표를 향한 궤도에 대한 자신감을 유지했다.
